From the cradle to the grave

I know this is a subject that's been done to death, but this one's personal. Some people may find the heavy blackness around the edges a bit much, bit I really wanted to concentrate attention on the contrast between the gnarly old hands and the delicacy of the newborn feet.

Thank you Doerthe - the newborn feet belong to my great-niece, and the hands to my father. So it's a great-grandaughter/great-grandfather relationship :)
And thank you everyone else for the kind comments - it's always hard when it's a personal image, as feelings towards it tend to get a bit biased!
